Just a Thought . . .

We have a camera set up in my dad's bedroom. I actually caught him just before he fell out of bed! While I'm sad about his lack of privacy, I'm glad I don't have to actually sit in his room all night.

I think back to being a new parent standing over a crib watching my child breath. Now, I watch the camera's feed on my phone, waiting for my dad to move, even just a little, so I know he's okay.

good news bad news

My treatments are over and I'm now at a monthly shot and daily pill. That's the good news. The bad news is that my dad had a stroke.

He was driving on a Friday and had a stroke sometime Saturday morning.

So I'm now trying to figure out my RL, still sucked into fanfiction, and being weekend graveyard caregiver for my dad. My brother who is living the closest is out of town on a job (wild fire team coordinator) so I've moved into his place to be closer. Luckily the siblings/dad can afford a part-time caregiver or I'd never make it!

All thoughts of talking to/with you at least weekly after treatment has flown the coop. I hope you enjoy whatever challenges you signed up for and have a GREAT reading year. I'm crossing my fingers that I can post challenges for 2020 but right now it doesn't look good.
